Not only is he too cunning and foxlike for the bumbling authorities to catch, but he also delights in publicly humiliating them. The character has been featured in numerous books, films, television series, and other media. The story was adapted as the film The Mark of Zorro (1. Mc. Culley's story was rereleased by publisher Grosset & Dunlap under the same title, to tie in with the film. In response to public demand fueled by the film, Mc. Culley wrote more than sixty more Zorro stories, beginning in 1. These stories ignore Zorro's public revelation of his identity. ![]() Mc. Culley died in 1.

His rival is Captain Ramon. Other characters include Sgt. Pedro Gonzales, Zorro's enemy but Diego's friend; Zorro's deaf and mute servant Bernardo; his ally Fray (Friar) Felipe; his father Don Alejandro Vega; and a group of noblemen (caballeros) who at first hunt him but are won over to his cause. In later stories, Mc. Culley introduces characters such as pirates and Native Americans, some of whom know Zorro's identity. ![]()
![]() In Mc. Culley's later stories, Diego's surname became de la Vega. In fact, the writer was wildly inconsistent. The first magazine serial ended with the villain dead and Diego publicly exposed as Zorro, but in the sequel the villain was alive, and the next entry had the double identity still secret. Several Zorro productions have expanded on the character's exploits. Many of the continuations feature a younger character taking up the mantle of Zorro. Although Mc. Culley's stories were set in Los Angeles during the era of Mexican rule (between 1. Zorro's story have placed him during the earlier Spanish era. Characteristics. This is, of course, a sham. This portrayal, with minor variations, is followed in most Zorro media. A notable exception to this portrayal is Disney's Zorro (1. In this show, everyone knows Diego would love to do what Zorro does, but thinks he does not have the skill. The Family Channel's Zorro (1. While Diego pretends to be inept with a sword, the rest of his facade is actually exaggerating his real interests. Diego is actually well versed and interested in art, poetry, literature, and science. His facade is pretending to be interested in only these things and to have no interest in swordplay or action. Zorro also has a well- equipped laboratory in his hidden cave in this version of the story. Character motifs. In his first appearance, he wears a cloak instead of a cape, and a black cloth veil mask with slits for eyes covers his whole face. Other features of the costume may vary. His favored weapon is a rapier, which he often uses to leave his distinctive mark, a Z cut with three quick strokes. He also uses a bullwhip. In his debut, he uses a pistol. The fox is never depicted as Zorro's emblem. It is used as a metaphor for the character's wiliness, such as in the lyrics . Although he is a master swordsman and marksman, he has more than once demonstrated his prowess in unarmed combat against multiple opponents. His calculating and precise dexterity as a tactician has enabled him to use his two main weapons, his sword and bullwhip, as an extension of his deft hand. He never uses brute strength, more his fox- like sly mind and well- practiced technique to outmatch an opponent. In some versions, Zorro keeps a medium- sized dagger tucked in his left boot for emergencies. He has used his cape as a blind, a trip- mat and a disarming tool. Zorro's boots are also sometimes weighted, as is his hat, which he has thrown, Frisbee- style, as an efficiently substantial warning to enemies. But more often than not, he uses psychological mockery to make his opponents too angry to be coordinated in combat. Zorro is a skilled horseman. The name of his jet- black horse has varied through the years. In The Curse of Capistrano, it was unnamed. Later versions named the horse Tornado/Toronado or Tempest. In other versions, Zorro rides a white horse named Phantom. Mc. Culley's concept of a band of men helping Zorro is often absent from other versions of the character. An exception is Zorro's Fighting Legion (1. Reed Hadley as Diego. In Douglas Fairbanks' version, he also has a band of masked men helping him. In Mc. Culley's stories, Zorro was aided by a deaf- mute named Bernardo. In Disney's Zorro television series, Bernardo is not deaf but pretends to be, and serves as Zorro's spy. He is a capable and invaluable helper for Zorro, sometimes wearing the mask to reinforce his master's charade. The Family Channel's Zorro television series replaces Bernardo with a teenager named Felipe, played by Juan Diego Botto, with a similar disability and pretense. Inspirations. In the 1. The Mask of Zorro Murrieta's (fictitious) brother Alejandro succeeds Diego as Zorro. As a hero with a secret identity who taunts his foes by signing his deeds, Zorro finds a direct literary predecessor in Sir Percival Blakeney, hero of the Scarlet Pimpernelpulp series by Emma Orczy. The character recalls other figures, such as Robin Hood, Reynard the Fox, Salomon Pico. Another possible historical inspiration is William Lamport, an Irish soldier who lived in Mexico in the seventeenth century. His life was the subject of a fictive book by Vicente Riva Palacio; The Irish Zorro (2. Another is Estanislao, a Yokuts man who led a revolt against the Mission San Jose in 1. The 1. 89. 0s penny dreadful treatment of the Spring- heeled Jack character as a masked avenger may have inspired some aspects of Zorro's heroic persona. Spring Heeled Jack was portrayed as a nobleman who created a flamboyant, masked alter ego to fight injustice, frequently demonstrated exceptional athletic and combative skills, maintained a hidden lair and was known to carve the letter . The all- black Fairbanks film costume, which with variations has remained the standard costume for the character, was likely adapted from the Arrow serial film character The Masked Rider (1. This character was the first Mexican black- clad masked rider on a black horse to appear on the silver screen. Fairbanks's costume in The Mark of Zorro, released the following year, resembled that of the Rider with only slight differences in the mask and hat. Diego, Jr., breaks his leg shortly after launching his career as a new Zorro, and his gay twin brother Ramon, now calling himself Bunny Wigglesworth, volunteers to fill in while he recuperates.
